This evening, the skies over Saudi Arabia will dazzle with the final giant full moon of 2024, known as the “Beaver Moon!”

At its peak, this luminous marvel will shine brighter and appear up to 90% larger than a typical full moon. The best time to catch this celestial spectacle? Friday, November 15, at 21:28 GMT (00:28 KSA).

The “Beaver Moon” gets its name from Native American traditions, marking the time when beavers busily prepare for winter

It’s also known as the “Frost Moon” or “Snow Moon”, hinting at the arrival of cooler weather—a sentiment the Kingdom can relate to as winter approaches.

The supermoon phenomenon occurs when the Moon reaches “perigee”, the closest point in its elliptical orbit around Earth

This proximity creates a visual treat, as the Moon glows larger and more vivid than usual. For Saudi stargazers, this is a night to look up!

Adding to the magic, the Pleiades star cluster, also known as the “Seven Sisters,” will appear close to the Moon. On November 15, it will be visible to the lower left of the Moon, shifting to the upper right the following night.

Whether you’re in the city or out in the desert, the giant moon will be easily visible with the naked eye. But for those with telescopes or binoculars, prepare to see the Moon’s surface like never before.
